All rental units in the city shall obtain and maintain a valid rental permit, except for a rental unit community, which is required to obtain one rental permit for the complex as per I.C. 36-1-20-3.5 (as may be amended). For all registered rental units, the city shall issue a rental permit stating the date of the unit’s registration. The owner of each rental unit shall be responsible for continuously maintaining a copy of the certificate. Each owner shall provide the Rental Housing Officer, or his or her designee, with a copy of the rental permit upon request. A rental permit shall otherwise remain in effect and not expire until suspended or revoked as set forth in this chapter. The issuance of a rental permit is not evidence that a property meets the requirements of this chapter or is otherwise fit for human habitation.
